About Torquay
Torquay is a classic English seaside resort on the northern edge of Tor Bay in Devon, nicknamed the 'English Riviera' for its mild climate and nine sandy beaches. Famous as the birthplace of crime writer Agatha Christie and the inspiration for the Fawlty Towers TV comedy, the town offers a charming Victorian harbour, Blue Flag beaches, and easy access to Devon's countryside. Cruise passengers can explore Kents Cavern, Torre Abbey, and the Agatha Christie Mile among its historic attractions.
The Agatha Christie Mile is a self-guided walking tour through the birthplace of the world's best-selling crime novelist. Kents Cavern holds some of the oldest known evidence of human occupation in Britain, with Paleolithic hand axes and a human jawbone dating back 37,000–40,000 years. Torre Abbey, founded in 1196, is Torquay's oldest building and hosts the town museum. Babbacombe Cliff Railway, Babbacombe Model Village, and Cockington Court's thatched country village round out the family-friendly options. The harbour area offers the Fleet Walk and Union Square shopping centres, and the waterfront is lined with restaurants specialising in local seafood.
